We can't get two people to agree on what folkmusic is. Now it's gonna become a religion? Oooooookay.

Does that make Dick van Dyke an oxymoron?

Buffy Sainte-Marie gets automatic canonization regardless, as far as I'm concerned. And she's no dyke!

a 'dike' keeps rivers and oceans from flooding property. Buffy is more talented than I thought.

Sounds a good idea until you think about schisms.We already know the folk fundementalists,nay, bigots even, but then there'd be a breakaway by the happy clappies;an Irish sect would evolve; arguements would ensue as to what songs could be sung at services and if they could be accompanied by instruments or not;a sect would form that only played the tunes; a new sect would demand dancing services;then there'd be wimmin only meetings; a male only breakaway sect would open the first folk church brewery;edicts would be passed demanding that tankards and beards be worn at all times or excommunication would follow.
I can see it all clearly.

Anything's a religion to people that take it seriously enough. Anything. Why not folk music? My religion is dames, guns, good food and drink, and paying work.

Posted this somewhere else but thought it might be worth a few thoughts in its' own thread.
Now that Jedi Knight has been recognised as a valid religion, then perhaps we should start our own church, name suggestions welcome.
Then we could become an opressed minority overnight, and people who made rude remarks about folkies could be tried for blasphemy, and if found guilty they could be sentenced to listen to Elmer P Bleaty records for 5 years. We could claim that our religion required us to sing in pubs with a load of our mates, and as it would be a religious ceremony we don't need a PEL. we could elect Bishops, and Archbishops, we could have Folkies and Tarts theme parties We would be entitled to have a Folking Archbishop sitting in the House of Lords, he'd fit in well with some of the folking idiots that are there already.
How about, The Folking Church ?
